I recently read an article about Dr. Mark Starr's treatment of hypothyroidism, Type 2 (which I'd never heard of beforehand). I have a lot of the symptoms mentioned. He also treats patients with dessicated liver. I don't think my endo would be open to change, however. Dr. Starr has a clinic in Phoenix according to this article which was dated December 2008 and appeared in the "Townsend Letter, The Examiner of Alternative Medicine." I don't remember now what I was researching when I ran across it.
